Bill Drafted In Move To Close 200 Unlicensed Liquor Spots
A proposed Arizona bill would shutter over 200 unlicensed liquor clubs posing as social venues, mainly in Phoenix, while preserving legitimate fraternal and veterans clubs. The plan shifts enforcement of anti gambling rules to counties, bars near religious meeting places, and requires local approvals with stated reasons. It would license clubs with a 150 dollar annual fee plus 100 dollars upfront for administration, and lists eligible entities including Congress chartered veterans groups, long standing fraternal chapters, select golf clubs, and large social clubs with substantial membership.
